RE: Value of attribute starts-with or contains

Thanks Michael. That's why I was getting the 1 in my output.

Well I don't wanted to count them that I was trying to debug my code, I am
actually trying to apply-templates with the check.


Something like <xsl:apply-templates
select="contains[.//entry/@aid5:cellstyle='tbody_cell']"/>

As I have another entries whose values differs for @aid5:cellstyle, and
which unfortunately I have not shown in below mark up.

Can this be done.

contains() returns a boolean, and the count() of a boolean is always 1.
